FF 8 Soundtrack just picked right up after FF IV, V, VI and VII. Nobuo was making masterpiece after masterpiece. The guy is the most legendary video game music composer ever, and there will never be anyone as good.
I'd argue that Shoji Meguro, the guy that made most of the post-SNES Shin Megami Tensei music is a legend on his own right. If you're here listening to metal covers of FF you should defo give him a listen or play the games; the entire Persona saga, SMT3 and 4, the Digital Devil Saga games...
Wow, this is from one of my favorite FF games in the series, loved the card games and junction mechanics. As always you did a flawless job dude, cheers!
EXACTLY how it should have been ohhhmannnn your killing me here bro banger after banger capturing the essence of the original and yet...... GODDAMN I LOVE METAL
Ultimecia (Griever Junctioned): *original theme* Squall and Party: "We're gonna win" Ultimecia: *switches to this theme* Squall and Party: "Yeah, we got nothing."
FFVIII has been sitting in my Number One Best Game Ever spot for the past 21 years and this music is clear evidence as to the reason why. Excellent, excellent track my friend! You've acquired a new subscriber :D
Wow, I love it. I do kinda miss the "huhh" at the start but I guess maybe there's a fine line between pulling it off and it just sounding bad. The rest is amazing.
You're certainly a lion, made of metal! Great work, your tone choices, technical skills and editing are precise and off the charts! Thank you for such high quality game music tracks that we can enjoy!
Although I do like the Black Mages version, I think the original has that special something... so having a sick metal cover of it from you is just the best! Amazingly done, loving it a lot! \m/
I had to think back to where in the game this song was played and i remembered, end of the game battle with greifer ultimacia junctioning. you killed ultimacia!!!
Wow! At around 1:03 onward You actually manage to perfectly capture the EXACT distinct Sound or instrumentation of PS1 JRPG/Square Music. And that epic Solo? Do I even need to spell how awesome it was!? Now that's the Purest form of Heavy Metal! 😎🤘😈 My dream is to hear you do Baldur's Gate 2 Cover!
I like Caleb Hyles. I like RichaadEB. I like Familyjules. I have a favorite. My favorite is ToxicxEternity. I listened to his Pokemon Blue/Red/Green Trainer battle without actually realizing it was him. Then I fell in love with his Undertale tracks. Then I realized that that trainer battle music was actually him. Now I get to listen to a song from a game that got me into the Final Fantasy series. Holy shit.
Feels like its missing something at the start but other than that well done. ( and the end area too.. Or perhaps the area close to the end but not quite at the end.. Something along those lines.. Then again the original is longer than this, same with its remastered/remake version... That one funny enough is even longer.. 5 min on original and 6 min on the remaster versions of the song. So that might be part of the reason why I feel that way? )
Awesome work, especially on that solo! I tried this myself and got the hang of the riff, but could I know what key this is in? I'm going towards F major but I'm really not sure, I'm new to music theory
In the jungle FF8s jungle the Lion heart slashes a wiiitch in the Jungle the FF8s jungle the lion heart wrecks a wiiitch. A weeeeeeee ooh weee a over a million damage done to yooou
I just can't give it the thumbs up. You've gotta have the initial vocalization or it's just not the same. The classic and a lot of arrangements use the kiai. Some have used a lion roar. The Black Mages version uses the song title. You just gotta do something or it's not the same.

@@creepypato3984 Mitsuda also a golden god - Xenogears and Chrono Cross soundtracks alone put him right up there
Terrific work all around but especially on that solo. I'm definitely not lion!
some more final fantasy metal?! Hell yeah dude!
Can't remember the original but this guy knows what he's doing .
9/10
FUCKING AWESOME, it just needed the lion roar in the beginning
Wow, this is from one of my favorite FF games in the series, loved the card games and junction mechanics. As always you did a flawless job dude, cheers!
I recently played through it for the first time with a friend and I loved those systems too
I grew up playing 8 :D
Triple triad is fun and also hell depending on the rules set on it
Dude that was freakin awesome! You did justice to my favorite game soundtrack \m/
EXACTLY how it should have been ohhhmannnn your killing me here bro banger after banger capturing the essence of the original and yet...... GODDAMN I LOVE METAL
We're in December and Jacks over here still celebrating Halloween like a bamf
One way to kill this year with a banger right haha
one of the finest covers of this song I have heard!
Yeah this sounds like a whole brand new music. And its very good
Ultimecia (Griever Junctioned): *original theme*
Squall and Party: "We're gonna win"
Ultimecia: *switches to this theme*
Squall and Party: "Yeah, we got nothing."
Seifer: Chicken-wuss
LOL
That's some badass riffing right there! As a classical pianist, I enjoyed your arrangement very much!

Such an awesome rendition of this song!
Amazing! This is definitely one of the best covers of this track!
Man i used to think this was such a badass song growing up. Glad to see you do it justice
Such a cool theme, and your cover was really awesome!
Always loved this track. Hearing it in this style is amazing.
Amazing as always. Glad to see FF8 getting some love, and one of my favorite tracks to boot. Keep it up man!
OMG! 1 week ago! and my favorite FF VIII, dream cover! Thank you so much ToxicEternity! Cheers
Never clicked anything faster. Awesome work!
Wow, I love it. I do kinda miss the "huhh" at the start but I guess maybe there's a fine line between pulling it off and it just sounding bad. The rest is amazing.
Lovin your final fantasy covers bro, So dope!
Fantastic cover. Really, great work.
That was awesome. You improved it.
What a nice surprise. Really enjoyed that
This is AMAZING. What a great version of this great song.
You're certainly a lion, made of metal! Great work, your tone choices, technical skills and editing are precise and off the charts! Thank you for such high quality game music tracks that we can enjoy!

An awesome take on that legendary theme

Delightful cover, sir.
BEST SONG IN FF8 AS IF THIS JUST COME OUT IM PROUD TO BE ALIVE!!
So many great songs from final fantasy tactics you could do
Oh hell yea! You rock as usual man!
ToxicxEternity a real one for uploading non seasonal/'current' content
Alright. I'll admit... that was far more impressive than I expected.
So fucking good.
Sick.
As a Final fantasy VIII megafan, I approve.
Nice! Lunatic Pandora next?
That would be sick
Man I want a remake of FF8 now! Excellent cover dude
wooo i forgot about that song. thank :D
hell yeah man! that was epic!
Epic!
More track, dont stop)) great technic. Hello from Rusdia, frend. I'm waiting, when you recorded tracks "power blade 2"
Man you are not nearly as popular as you should be considering the awsome music you put out. Keep it up man.
You rock as usual man!
Are you going to cover "The Extreme" one day? That is a great ff8 track too! Awesome work :)
I had to think back to where in the game this song was played and i remembered, end of the game battle with greifer ultimacia junctioning. you killed ultimacia!!!
I already know this will be legendary
Dude sets the bar for youtube covers.
Excellently played my dude, works perfectly for 7 strings! 🖤🖤
shred it dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!
At around 1:03 onward You actually manage to perfectly capture the EXACT distinct Sound or instrumentation of PS1 JRPG/Square Music.
And that epic Solo? Do I even need to spell how awesome it was!?
Now that's the Purest form of Heavy Metal! 😎🤘😈
My dream is to hear you do Baldur's Gate 2 Cover!
Love me some FF8!
Is this guy stalking me? haha you're a good guitarist.
I guess you are indeed THE Lion!

Damn hit your limit break on that one
YES! ALL MY YES!
nice one
Your super talented ❤
EFF YES DUDE.
yes. Yes. YES.
Disappointed in the lack of 'HEY/HYUH' at the start before it kicks in, but otherwise loving it!
Same. I shall henceforth provide it myself upon repeated listenings.
Yes!!!!🙌
I'd love to see you doing Edea Battle theme, i dont find it in your vidéos ^-^
Great cover by the way
''Final''y my favourite ''Final'' Fantasy that is getting some love! A great theme for the ''finale''...Sorry had to
can someone tab this out for rocksmith please, its probably the best version of this song ive heard covered
Excellent. \m/
FF8 is the most disagreed about game in the series, but music wise IMO it's number one. And you've absolutely aced this.
Great choice, the source really lends itself well to a metal cover (usually is true with Uematsu haha)
What a nice nod to Deep Purple with the title.
V- RGERO! HELL YEAH!
Feels like its missing something at the start but other than that well done. ( and the end area too.. Or perhaps the area close to the end but not quite at the end.. Something along those lines..

So that might be part of the reason why I feel that way? )
Getting some Deep Purple Vibes from 0.30 to 1.00.
Woahhh
Think you could cover Grand Cross or Dark Messenger next? 9 best ff don't @ me
Oh yeeaahh!!
Awesome work, especially on that solo! I tried this myself and got the hang of the riff, but could I know what key this is in? I'm going towards F major but I'm really not sure, I'm new to music theory
Am I a Lion?
[ ] Yes!
[ ] Absolutely!
[ X ] MAYBE!!!!!
よし！これは私が話していることです。当たり前、兄弟！ご苦労様でした
If FF made a dynasty warrior clone. 😤
This dude IS a lion....not just maybe.
Where is my " HEY ! " ? 😂😂
I immediately imagined the vision memes
Better than the Black Mages in my opinion. More true to the original.
Better than the dude who made the song in the first place...😂some of y'all say the weirdest shit
Griever... Make them bleed!
"Maybe I`m A Lion!? nani?!!"
In the jungle FF8s jungle the Lion heart slashes a wiiitch in the Jungle the FF8s jungle the lion heart wrecks a wiiitch. A weeeeeeee ooh weee a over a million damage done to yooou
1.25 speed made it perfect, imo.
Megaman 2 airman theme
Your tag says vii when it should be viii. Idk if anyone's already pointed that out or not
i make metal covers we should colab
For the love of God man. Cover strider from the Sega genesis
Maybe you're a Black Mage?
I just can't give it the thumbs up. You've gotta have the initial vocalization or it's just not the same.
The classic and a lot of arrangements use the kiai.
Some have used a lion roar.
The Black Mages version uses the song title.
You just gotta do something or it's not the same.
> Black Mages version imo
it's not cover it's just guitar and bass cover ... you don't play drums.
lol
